Vampire Royalty [Season 2]
45.
Taehyung looked at Hoseok, who approached him with a blank expression. He held a knife in his hand, but Taehyung felt no fear. Even looking straight into his eyes, he felt the same.
I was just worried about what to think of this hyung right now, and my first thought was whether he was okay. Hoseok paused for a moment, perhaps sensing Taehyung's gaze.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"
김태형 (25)
"... ah."
김태형 (25)
"just."

"Tae, Taehyung."
As Baekhyun's sobbing voice echoed through the air, a sharp knife was instantly aimed at Taehyung's neck. But while Baekhyun paled and trembled in shock, Taehyung's eyes were remarkably peaceful.
정호석 (27)
"Just say it, why."
김태형 (25)
"..."
김태형 (25)
"curious?"
정호석 (27)
"..."
Taehyung stared silently into Hoseok's eyes. Fortunately or unfortunately, the clear gaze that had once been unique to Hoseok didn't seem to have completely vanished. The sparkle remained. It was just that a cloudy substance had been added.
If I was destined to die anyway, I wanted to say it one more time in front of my old brother before I died. Taehyung thought about that for a brief moment, slowly opening his mouth.
"I thought of you, hyung."
김태형 (25)
"I remember my older brother."
김태형 (25)
"When you see me, you just smile like a child, and sometimes you teach me like a scary teacher, and at first, you embrace me even though I was full of caution."
김태형 (25)
"Sometimes you're a source of comfort to me, and other times you're a really annoying nitpicker who makes me want to die."
김태형 (25)
"I like to spread my wings and fly, especially flying fast over the water while jumping over the waves. I'm a water vampire who is friendly with water."
김태형 (25)
"He was my protector and older brother when I was young, and now he's a little older... but he's still so precious to me when I'm young."
A beautiful brother who could be described as a youth with a bright smile.
김태형 (25)
"..."
김태형 (25)
"That kind of... that kind of Hoseok hyung."
김태형 (25)
"I suddenly thought of Hoseok hyung."
정호석 (27)
"..."
김태형 (25)
"So, that's why I'm looking at you like this."
I miss you. I'm sorry, hyung.
I miss you so much.
Hoseok didn't avert his icy gaze. His eyes, still frantic, aimed his sword at Taehyung. Taehyung darted his eyes back and forth, as if trying to observe every slight movement.
Then I realized that Hoseok's hands were shaking slightly.
김태형 (25)
"..."
김태형 (25)
"brother."
정호석 (27)
"..."
김태형 (25)
"Why, are you shaking?"
정호석 (27)
"what."
김태형 (25)
"..."
변백현
"Master, master, the knife is shaking a lot. You're going to hurt your hand."
정호석 (27)
"Did I like riding the waves?"
김태형 (25)
"... uh?"
정호석 (27)
"Answer me. Did you like that kind of thing?"
Taehyung couldn't utter a single word. Why had his mouth, which had been speaking smoothly just moments before, suddenly become rigid? The knife in Hoseok's hand was shaking like an aspen tree.
김태형 (25)
"..."
정호석 (27)
"..."
김태형 (25)
"...my brother."
Taehyung's dry, crackling voice pierced the still silence, gently touching Hoseok's eardrums. It was a kind of knock, a kind of acknowledgment of his bewilderment, not knowing who he was after his transformation. Taehyung waited a moment, then opened his mouth again.
김태형 (25)
"There are many things I like besides water."
정호석 (27)
"..."
김태형 (25)
"My brother was always smiling. He liked warmth, and he was probably the most active when it came to hanging out with us. He was always smiling brightly."
김태형 (25)
"He was a bright older brother who handled his abilities well and treated his enemies with the utmost care. He was always by my side, protecting me reliably."
정호석 (27)
"..."
정호석 (27)
"... also?"
Hoseok's voice trembled faintly but clearly at the end of his sentence. It seemed as if he was holding back tears, just a little.
김태형 (25)
"My brother always laughed when those around him laughed, and when those around him cried, he cried with them or comforted them, depending on the situation. He had a warm heart."
김태형 (25)
"His eyes were like stars sparkling in a child's storybook, and I was so grateful for and loved those pure eyes of his."
"I just really liked my brother."
정호석 (27)
"..."
정호석 (27)
"also."
"You were my fucking best friend, you little shit."
Suddenly, outside the abandoned building where they were talking, there was a sound of something collapsing, and a voice full of tears directed at Hoseok could be heard clearly.
The owner of the voice then entered the abandoned house with a few more people behind him, revealing his shape in the moonlight.
"Forget that?"
"You were my friend, no matter how much you changed mentally!!"
"How could you erase... forget... something so beautiful?"
The reason why it's like this even after the exam is over: After the exam, I just had fun. / This was a very important episode with such subtle emotions, so I erased and rewrote it over and over again. / I'm sorry. I'll handle it properly next time.
